How chin dimpling assessment considers anatomy, function and a personal plan at our London clinic.

Understand the area

Chin dimpling, sometimes called an orange-peel chin, can appear when the mentalis muscle contracts beneath the lower lip. Chin shape, lip closure and the quality of the overlying skin influence the pattern.

What we assess

We assess the chin at rest, during speech and when the lips close. Understanding how the mentalis supports the lower lip helps us plan around both appearance and function.

Dimpling and chin shape are different features

A pebbled surface during movement differs from a structural cleft or a concern about chin projection. The mentalis also contributes to lower-lip movement, so we assess lip closure and speech. This helps keep the recommendation focused on the feature you actually want to address.

A plan with a clear purpose

We explain what is related to movement and what is related to the underlying chin shape. Your recommendation follows an examination and a conversation about the result you would like.

Amount, review and timing

For a suitable muscle-directed plan, the fee covers the agreed treatment rather than a per-unit tariff. The amount is chosen around anatomy, muscle activity and function. A complimentary 14-day review and any clinically appropriate adjustment at that review are included. We do not automatically book repeat treatment every three months; the interval follows your response and clinical assessment.
